Abstract

This study examines the implementation of Servant Leadership within GMIM Syalom Lelema and its influence on congregational attendance in worship fellowship. Rooted in the theological model of leadership exemplified by Jesus Christ, Servant Leadership emphasizes humility, empathy, presence, and service as core leadership values. Using a qualitative case-study approach, data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation to understand the relational dynamics between church leaders and congregational participation. The findings reveal that the congregation highly values leaders—pastors, elders, and deacons—who demonstrate genuine care, pastoral presence, and willingness to serve. Acts of pastoral visitation, listening to members’ struggles, and showing humility significantly strengthen emotional and spiritual bonds within the community, resulting in higher attendance and engagement in various worship activities. Conversely, leaders who lack servant-like attitudes tend to receive weaker responses from the congregation, which negatively impacts their participation in worship. The study concludes that Servant Leadership is not merely a theological ideal but a practical necessity within the communal culture of GMIM Syalom Lelema. The model effectively fosters stronger relationships, increases congregational commitment, and enhances the vitality of church fellowship. Keywords: Servant Leadership, Pastoral Ministry, Worship Attendance, Ecclesial Leadership, GMIM Syalom Lelema.

Abstract

This study explores the role of adaptive liturgy as a medium for intergenerational connectivity in Christian worship. Generational diversity within congregations often creates gaps in worship experiences, necessitating a liturgical approach capable of embracing all ages. Utilizing a theological and practical study with a qualitative case study approach through observation and literature review at GMIM "Syalom" Lelema, this research finds that adaptive liturgy effectively facilitates intergenerational connectivity. Key findings indicate the practice of reciprocal participation in major church celebrations and worship processions involving all generations, as well as the adaptation of worship music where old songs are rearranged in a contemporary style to attract younger generations without alienating older ones. The analysis of these findings within the theoretical framework strengthens their significance. The liturgical practices at GMIM "Syalom" Lelema align with Communication Accommodation Theory (CAT) in adjusting communication styles, Social and Cultural Adaptation Theory in responding to congregational dynamics, Participatory Ecclesiology Theology which encourages collective involvement, and the Principle of Unity in Diversity, which unifies differences in harmony. It is concluded that adaptive liturgy at GMIM "Syalom" Lelema is a concrete model that successfully bridges generational gaps, forming an inclusive, participatory, and unified church in diversity. This research contributes to the literature on practical theology and liturgy by providing an empirical case study from the Indonesian context, offering practical guidance for other churches.
